That sounds good to me. I'd like 50% GTE and 50% BQI. Out of both right now but have been trading them recently. Thanks.

It would help if the rules were written in English <ng>.

What I see is:

[t]++++Our next "Cinque de Mayo" round kick off will be on Monday, May 5th with the game to run through Friday, Aug 15th, 2008.++++[/t]
We thus kindly ask everybody to have their picks or at least the $100 initial funds in place with Elroy by Friday, May 2nd.
This dead line missed for a good reason, get your picks or at least $100 cash in prior to the opening of the markets on Monday, May 5th
and you get the Monday closing prices - unless considered "SM" (rule 7- below) ;)


So:

1. kick off is on Monday, May 5th
2. To get the Friday, 5/2 close you had to get your order in before the close 5/2.
3. Orders in at or after 4:00 PM EDT Friday and "prior to the opening of the markets on Monday, May 5th" "or at least $100 cash" get the 5/5 close with no penalty.
4. Otherwise the late entry rule applies.

Elroy, the start of a round rules should be in the rules.

If you are changing the rules, put me all in cash.

No, I guess that those who didn't get their picks in by Friday's close - like me - get Tuesdays close unless they just decided to sit in cash - like me.

Wasn't that the way?

If not I of course would short Yahoo for Monday's close - which hardly would be fair, knowing what we all know by now.
